991 Emblem --> 997 Emblem

Hey guys,

I think the cluster of emblems on the trunk lid make the rear of the 991 TT too busy. I was thinking about either blacking out the stock ones or taking them off and replacing with blacked out 997 turbo version.

What do you guys think about the idea?

I'm probably old school but I really like the simplicity in "turbo" on the back of turbo Porsches, always have. In my mind, it's such a signature/statement and all that needs to be there. From the time I was young I can recall seeing only that and understanding that this Porsche was something special - the "turbo". Same goes for the GT2, GT3 and GT3RS…fits perfectly and conveys all you need to know.

+1 ....What he /\ said!!

Over the last 17years of Porsche ownership, if I had a nickel for every time a friend or new acquaintance, on learning I owned a Porsche, would ask me... "is it a Turbo?"..... I'd have a sack full of nickels.

Never have to explain how special "Turbo" is to non-Porsche folks who show an interest....
Now, explaining how special a GT3 is, to those same type of folks....that's another thing!

Bet I'm not alone on that!

I'm with you 100%. Either Turbo only or on my 997 Turbo, I took everything off. The new cars look too busy for my taste. It is very easy to remove the letters.

The "cachet" of having a turbo isn't the same anymore now, though, with the prevalence in all cars nowadays. I kind of like just having the "PORSCHE" on there.
